Share-based Payment Arrangements

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had two employee equity incentive plans, the 2002 employee stock option and stock incentive plan (the “ESOSIP”) and the 2011 equity incentive plan (the “2011 EIP”). No further grants can be made under the ESOSIP. The Company also has a stock compensation plan for members of its Board of Directors, the Amended and Restated 2013 Directors Stock Compensation Plan (as amended and restated as of May 17, 2016, the “2013 DSCP”). 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were authorized for issuance under the 2011 EIP and 115,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were authorized for issuance under the 2013 DSCP. The ESOSIP, 2011 EIP and 2013 DSCP are each referred to herein as a “Plan,” and, collectively, as the “Plans.” Amounts recognized in the financial statements with respect to these Plans are as follows (in thousands):


	Twenty Six Weeks Ended						Thirteen Weeks Ended

As of June 30, 2018, there were 72,742 shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the 2013 DSCP and 4,486,031 shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance in the aggregate under the ESOSIP and 2011 EIP.

Restricted Stock Units

The following table summarizes information regarding the Company’s outstanding restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards with either a performance condition or a market condition under the Plans:


	Number of RSUs			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at December 30, 2017		387,372		$	55.75
Granted		65,228		$	96.20
Vested		(67,971	)	$	53.92
Forfeited		(92,880	)	$	52.36

Outstanding at June 30, 2018		291,749		$	66.30

During the twenty-six-week period ended June 30, 2018, the Company granted RSUs with a performance condition and RSUs with a market condition, as further described below. Outstanding RSUs at both December 30, 2017 and June 30, 2018 include RSUs with a performance condition and RSUs with a market condition, as further described in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

RSUs with a performance condition granted on February 2, 2018 may vest on January 31 of 2021, 2022 and 2023 based on growth in operating income and pre-tax income per share from continuing operations attributable to Landstar System, Inc. and subsidiary as compared to the results from the 2017 fiscal year.

On April 24, 2018, the Company granted 9,324 RSUs that vest based on a market condition. These RSUs may vest on June 30 of 2022, 2023 and 2024 based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) compound annual growth rate over the vesting periods, adjusted to reflect dividends (if any) paid during such periods and capital adjustments as may be necessary. The maximum number of common shares available for issuance under the April 24, 2018 grant equals 150% of the number of RSUs granted. The fair value of this RSU award was determined at the time of grant based on the expected achievement of the market condition at the end of each vesting period. With respect to these RSU awards, the Company reports compensation expense ratably over the life of the award based on an estimated number of units that will vest over the life of the award, multiplied by the fair value of the RSU. Previously recognized compensation cost would be reversed only if the employee terminated employment prior to completing the requisite service period.

The Company recognized approximately $6,975,000 and $1,309,000 of share-based compensation expense related to RSU awards in the twenty-six-week periods ended June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, there was a maximum of $27.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSU awards granted under the Plans with an expected average remaining life of approximately 3.5 years. With respect to RSU awards with a performance condition, the amount of future compensation expense to be recognized will be determined based on future operating results.

Stock Options

The following table summarizes information regarding the Company’s outstanding stock options under the Plans:


						Weighted Average
	Number of			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Remaining Contractual		Aggregate Intrinsic
	Options			per Share		Term (years)		Value (000s)
Options outstanding at December 30, 2017		189,040		$	49.34
Exercised		(51,918	)	$	48.52

Options outstanding at June 30, 2018		137,122		$	49.64		3.5	$	8,166

Options exercisable at June 30, 2018		136,122		$	49.58		3.5	$	8,115

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the twenty-six-week periods ended June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017 was $3,203,000 and $4,480,000, respectively.

As of June 30, 2018, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted under the Plans.

Non-vested Restricted Stock and Deferred Stock Units

The following table summarizes information regarding the Company’s outstanding shares of non-vested restricted stock and Deferred Stock Units (defined below) under the Plans:


	Number of Shares and Deferred Stock Units			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at December 30, 2017		54,755		$	78.02
Granted		22,803		$	113.35
Vested		(19,162	)	$	74.42
Forfeited		(1,757	)	$	71.12

Non-vested at June 30, 2018		56,639		$	93.68

The fair value of each share of non-vested restricted stock issued and Deferred Stock Unit granted under the Plans is based on the fair value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Shares of non-vested restricted stock are generally subject to vesting in three equal annual installments either on the first, second and third anniversary of the date of the grant or the third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the date of the grant, or 100% on the first anniversary of the date of the grant. For restricted stock awards granted under the 2013 DSCP plan, each recipient may elect to defer receipt of shares and instead receive restricted stock units (“Deferred Stock Units”), which represent contingent rights to receive shares of the Company’s common stock on the date of recipient separation from service from the Board of Directors, or, if earlier, upon a change in control event of the Company. Deferred Stock Units become vested 100% on the first anniversary of the date of the grant. Deferred Stock Units do not represent actual ownership in shares of the Company’s common stock and the recipient will not have voting rights or other incidents of ownership until the shares are issued. However, Deferred Stock Units do contain the right to receive dividend equivalent payments prior to settlement into shares.

As of June 30, 2018, there was $4,327,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested shares of restricted stock and Deferred Stock Units granted under the Plans. The unrecognized compensation cost related to these non-vested shares of restricted stock and Deferred Stock Units is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.
